  Since the vhook subsystem has been removed from the latest version of FFMPEG, how can I add a watermark to a video ?

  I need to be able to overlay a PNG with background transparency.

• WebM Cabal

  8 octobre 2010, par Multimedia Mike — On2/Duck, VP8

  I traveled to a secret clubhouse today to take part in a clandestine meeting to discuss exactly how WebM will rule over all that you see and hear on the web. I can’t really talk about it. But I can show you the cool hat I got :

  
  
  Yeah, you’re jealous.
  

  The back of the hat has an Easter egg for video codec nerds– the original Duck Corporation logo (On2′s original name) :

  
  
  

  Former employees of On2 (now Googlers) were well-represented. It was an emotional day of closure as I met the person — the only person to date — who contacted me with a legal threat so many years ago. He still remembered me too.

  I met a lot of people involved in creating various Duck and On2 codecs and learned a lot of history and lore behind then– history I hope to be able to document one day.

  I’m glad I got that first rough draft of a toy VP8 encoder done in time for the meeting. It was the subject of much mirth.

• Naive Sorenson Video 1 Encoder

  12 septembre 2010, par Multimedia Mike — General

  (Yes, the word is “naive” — or rather, “naïve” — not “native”. People always try to correct me when I use the word. Indeed, it should actually be written with 2 dots over the ‘i’ but who has a keyboard that can easily do that ?)

  At the most primitive level, programming a video encoder is about writing out a sequence of bits that the corresponding video decoder will understand. It’s sort of like creating a program — represented as a stream of opcodes — that will run on a given microprocessor or virtual machine. In fact, reading a video codec bitstream specification will reveal a lot of terminology along the lines of “transmitting information to the decoder” or “signaling the decoder to do xyz.”

  Creating a good encoder that will deliver decent quality at a reasonable bitrate is difficult. Creating a naive encoder that produces a technically compliant bitstream, not so much.

  
  
  

  When I wrote an FFmpeg encoder for Sorenson Video 1 (SVQ1), the first step was to just create a minimally compliant bitstream. The coarsest encoding mode that SVQ1 allows is to encode the average (mean) of each 16×16 block of samples. So I created an encoder that just encoded the mean of each block. Apple’s QuickTime Player was able to play the resulting video in all of its blocky glory. The result rather reminds me of the Super Nintendo’s mosaic effect.

  Level 5 blocks (mean-only 16×16 encoding) :
  

  
  
  

  Level 3 blocks (mean-only 8×8 encoding) :
  

  
  
  

  It’s one thing for your own decoder (in this case, FFmpeg’s own decoder) to be able to decode the data. The big test is whether the official decoder (in this case, Apple QuickTime Player) can decode the file.

  
  
  

  Now that’s a good feeling. After establishing that sort of baseline, it’s possible to adapt more and more features of the codec.
